Green Initiatives

Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., believes that economic growth and the
well-being of society are inextricably tied to the health of the environment.
Accordingly, we embrace our responsibility for environmental stewardship and are
committed to integrating leading environmental practices and sustainability
principles into our core business strategy.

We acknowledge that, in many ways, we, like the global community we serve, are only
in the early stages of developing and implementing the many changes that will be
necessary to achieve these vital goals. Nonetheless, we strongly believe that our
efforts to support a healthy environment serve the interests of both current and
future generations and constitute the foundation for enduring success.

Le M�ridien Barcelona has implemented several environmental Initiatives in the

daily operation of the hotel:

Green Council | Created in 2008, its aim is: raising awareness of the
environmental initiatives and coordinating and measuring its implementation.

be as rewarding to the environment as it is to our guests. With an innovative
solution to being ecologically responsible, for each night you decline housekeeping
(except day of departure), you will receive a $5 voucher at participating
restaurants and lounges, or 500 Starwood Preferred Guest starpoints� awarded at
checkout or you can donate 500 SPG� points on your behalf to UNICEF's environmental
work for children.
